7.3 Create buyer organizations and buyers
We now create a buying organization for our major customer, IBM. This buyer organization will have two suborganizations under it: one for the Software Group and one for Global Services. Each organization will have a buyer approver created.
Note: When creating multi-level buyer organizations, ensure that you do not define any as organizational units. The registration process does not allow buyers to register under an organizational unit.
In our case, a buyer goes to either store and clicks Register User. This presents a data entry page. One of the required fields is Buyer Organization. A buyer for the Software Group would enter SWG/IBM in this field. A buyer for Global Services would enter IGS/IBM. For a buyer to have access to both stores, they would enter IBM in this field.
